Russian Hacking Conspiracy Theory Implodes
frontpagemag.com ^ | Matthew Vadum

Posted on 12/16/2016 8:56:00 AM PST by RoosterRedux

The Left’s crusade against Republican presidential electors is kicking into high gear even as the CIA-attributed story that Russian hackers won the White House for Donald Trump is going up in flames.

There is still no evidence –at least none that has been made publicly available– that the Russian government or Russian-backed cyber militias hacked anything to help Trump win the election but that’s not halting the Left’s efforts to delegitimize his presidency before it even begins.

Against this backdrop, members of the Electoral College are preparing to gather this Monday in the 50 states and the District of Columbia to fulfill their constitutional duty. Adding to the drama, some electors are demanding intelligence briefings on the alleged hacking before they vote.

*snip*

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, whose site released thousands of purported emails from senior Democrats during the recent election campaign, threw cold water on the Russian hacking conspiracy theory.

Assange told Sean Hannity yesterday, “Our source is not the Russian government.” He also said the information WikiLeaks received “has not come from a state party.”

What Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told the House Intelligence Committee on Nov. 17 suggests Assange may be right.

“As far as the WikiLeaks connection [to Russian hackers is concerned] the evidence there is not as strong and we don’t have good insight into the sequencing of the releases or when the data may have been provided,” Clapper said. “We don’t have as good insight into that.”

Folks, the hard Left is - literally - an enemy of our Nation and Constitution.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At this point in time I don’t believe any sane person is in doubt about that. The real question is whether there is ANYONE on the left who is NOT an enemy of our Nation.

I think there must be some who are not our enemies because, since everyone on the left is either evil, or ignorant, or both, some of the simply ignorant my not actually be our enemies, just clueless sheeple.

Color me pessimistic but, barring some kinda miracle, I just don’t see how we can avoid some kind of armed conflict with these internal enemy bastards sooner or later.

May not happen in my remaining bit of lifetime, but the drip drip drip of their treason shows no signs of abating.

McCarthy was right . . .
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yes, McCarthy was right, and so are you. I believe the only way to avoid a full-scale armed conflict is to squash these Marxist-inspired fascists at every opportunity. Never fail to contradict their anti-American BS, never give them the benefit of the doubt, immediately challenge ever single anti-American thing they say and do. Ridicule them, insult them, get in their face every whenever you can.

If Trump goes after them with guns blazing for the next eight years, and we do the same, hopefully they will lose their credibility in the eyes of the masses Better to destroy their intellectual credibility if possible than to actually have to kill the bastards.

I think that low life obama is trying to leave a mess to Trump.It is very dangerous. I would hope the military would ignore his orders.

I think Putin is well aware of our current political situation and that it’s the lunatic left’s and the MSM making all the claims about Russian hacking and elections meddling. He also knows a Trump (a real man who doesnt go into bath houses, lie his ass off to the American people all the time, and is willing to roll up his sleeves to work instead of play golf) is on the way to unseat the meddling Muslim Manchurian psychopath and he has friends on staff tha share his common interests that could enrich his country financially. I don’t think Putin wants war with the U.S.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Well and truly said. I especially like the part about “doesn’t go into bath houses . . .”

The good thing is that military planning takes a while. And Obama is going on another (expensive taxpayer funded) vacation, so will not be planning any strikes on Russia for a couple weeks, at least.

Obama is a miserable failure trying to cover his a$$ by accusing Russia of something it did not do.Something it did not have to do. In all likelihood Assange received the DNC information from one or two disgruntled DNC staffers , who were angered by how Bernie Sanders had been treated, along with several US intelligence officers who did not want to see Clinton achieve the presidency because of how she had traduced US security law, and escaped prosecution by a completely traduced DOJ under Lynch.

Russia did not have to do a damn thing to sway the US election. Obama and Clinton effed themselves and got royally screwed by DNC leakers and an angry unidentified group of unidentified intelligence officers,just as Obama and Clinton were trying to screw America.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Wonderfully written analysis and perfectly true in all respects. Liked your use of “traduced,” a word not seen very often.

Fake news
On Fox this afternoon Julie Banderas reported that the “FBI and CIA agree that the Russians hacked our election system”.
Fake news.

All the screaming electors are democrats with one ignorant rino. It is aggravating that the left hates America so very very much. They need to leave America asap and return to the nations their forefathers wisely fled from. They are unconstitutional liars and thieves and belong in the communist nations they love so much, but not in America.

And fix the election system once for all, beginning with voter ID for Americans and not illegal aliens that stole 5 states from Trump. He needs to send the dem illegals to their home nations and I pray the dems leave America once for all.

The only villains in that scenario are in DC and London and Berlin... Putin’s presence on the world scene is a salvation.

Democrats have succumbed to the massive campaign of pure propaganda by communists that have infiltrated the media and academia in the U.S.

This campaign of lies has galvanized conservatives and produced Trump and his movement.

#60. No. The Left is NOT losing it’s lunatic base. It has greater expanded it. Just listen to the mainstream media blame almost everything relating to the Trump victory on Trump and Putin instead of the Democrats own incompetence and treason.

This election was living proof that our basic educational system has been perverted, subverted and emasculated into a Marxist, genderist, anti-white, and anti-free enterprise propaganda machine run by leftist teachers unions with the full support of the Democrat Party and assorted Marxists out there in propaganda/academia/media land.

and say “Either put up or shut up” to the left? If the left won’t put up the evidence then NO investigation!

There is no evidence.

It is a lie.

America's FIRST Muslim President doesn't care about the Constitution or the rule of law. Hussein Obama was put in the White House to cause havoc and destruction. Hussein will continue to do that until he is imprisoned or hung for treason.

Isn't it obvious or do you need to see a picture of Hussein on his prayer rug for his HOLY Islam?

Hussein Obama is a traitor.

Hussein Obama is a Muslim working for Islam, not the United States.

is there any way to inaugurate Trump immediately, to preclude the left from instigating war with Russia while they still have power?

Hussein Obama will start WWIII with Russia to stop Trump from stopping him and his terrorist attack on the US.

We know the US government lied to us about Hillary.

We know the DNC lied to us.

We know Hillary lied, and lied and lied.

We know the presstitutes lied and misreported news to shield the Demonrats and Hussein.

WHY should anyone with an IQ much above room temperature be surprised Hussein lied about Russia?

Since muslim prayer times are complex, depending on sun, moon, and earth GPS points using strict charts for each day’s carpet time....you know, I’m surprised no one has corralated the muslim prayer times with Obama’s daily schedules. When he ducks out for a ciggie or an extended bathroom break, does it line up with the prayer times? We’ve had 8 years for this, I find it surprising no one’s done it.

When was the last time that a political party launched a country wide ad campaign to sway the votes of the electoral college?

There was a story out that said Hussein Obama had a "tent" that allowed him to duck in and not be observed! The article acted like "for what purpose?" The purpose was likely for his prayers.

Hussein Obama's mobile tent. It, of course, is probably also his mobile prayer room.
